Ingredients

• 6 pieces kiwis
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Peel the kiwis and cut them into chunks.

Step 2

Place the kiwi chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the kiwi puree, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and heavy cream. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 6

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 2 hours, then remove and stir thoroughly with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every hour until the sherbet is fully frozen and smooth.

Step 7

Once churned or fully frozen, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.

Step 8

Serve scooped into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade Kiwi Sherbet!
